Prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.—Rom. 12:2.

 

Christian parents recognize that faith in God is not something a child inherits. Over time a child may wrestle with such questions as: ‘How do I know that there is a God? Can I really believe what the Bible says?’ In fact, the Bible actually encourages us to use our “power of reason” and to “make sure of all things.” (Rom. 12:1; 1 Thess. 5:21) How, though, can you help your child to strengthen his faith? Encourage your child to prove the truth to himself. When your child asks questions, take the opportunity to show him how to find the answers by using research tools, such as the Watch Tower Publications Index and the Research Guide for Jehovah’s Witnesses. In the latter, under the subject “The Bible,” he might look up “Inspired by God” to find evidence that the Bible is not just a good book written by men. Rather, it is “the word of God.”—1 Thess. 2:13. w24.12 14-15 ¶4-5
